1976 German Grand Prix




Most drivers started the race on wet tyres, except German Jochen Mass who had a lot of experience at the Nürburgring and expected a change for better weather.

In lap two, most pilots had already pitted for dry tyres and Mass was leading.

Niki Lauda had also changed his tyres and was trying hard to make up for the lost time before he crashed at ''Bergwerk''. Lunger and Ertl collided with the wreck before pulling Lauda out of the burning Ferrari.

Chris Amon decided to end his career immediately afterwards.

The race was restarted with 4 cars less.
